Our question this Half Term is "Would you be brave enough to sail around the world?" Based on the amazing book by Michael Morpurgo, Kensuke's Kingdom, the children are hooked into the story when a mysterious box and contents arrive for them in class..... Please see below the Medium Term Pland and the Home Learning Challenge Grid for this Half Term. Mrs Blomeley

Mr Harrison, currently working as a Student Teacher in Year 5, has been passing on his skills as a Children's Entertainer to groups of children from Year 5 and 6 during Good to be Green time each Friday! They are being taught how to create illusions, such as disappearing colour, and how to make sword balloons! As you can see they are having great fun! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 were excited, and a little confused, when a mysterious parcel arrived through the post for them! Amongst other things it contained a faded football, a variety of shells and pebbles, a cryptic message in a bottle and a letter from “Michael” asking for advice. Year 5 have already discovered that the story is none other than Michael Morpurgo’s Kensuke’s Kingdom and they are waiting for the story to unfold to help them to solve Michael's dilemma!

Year 5 enjoyed creating their Anglo Saxon "Haka" style war dances yesterday! A haka is a ceremonial Māori war dance or challenge. Haka are usually performed in a group and represent a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity! They were all fantastic! Mrs Blomeley
Have a Hoppy Easter to our families. Be safe and take time to enjoy being with your family.

As part of their Anglo Saxon topic, Year 5 learnt how to weave! They had to concentrate to make sure the wool was threaded the right way but the class enjoyed watching their creations grow! They even asked to arrange a lunchtime weaving class! Watch this space! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 put their shields, swords and helmets to the test yesterday! When it stopped raining for ten minutes, they re-enacted a battle between different tribes of the Anglo Saxons! They were extremely sensible and safe but had the best time ever, chanting and charging along with their weapons! What a great time they had! Mrs Blomeley
I would like you to use your scientific observational skills to look at the image. What could it be? What does it make you think of?
Can you describe the colours, textures and shapes that you can see?
If you think you can guess what the image may be please come and let me know or tell your class teacher.
I will the reveal the answer soon in an assembly...
